Music: Great Soloist

Recitals of chamber music are usually serious functions, attended by serious
souls, with cultured dignity at heart. Generally there is only discreet applause; high
enthusiasm is taboo, also encores.

But such rules and precedents are not made for masters; they are made by
them, and may be broken by them at will. Last week Ignace Jan Paderewski
appeared at Carnegie Hall, Manhattan, jointly with Efrem
Zimbalist (violinist), Felix Salmond ('cellist) and Harold Bauer,
"who turned the pages," in a performance of Beethoven's Trio in B-flat.
